Streetview GeoHive OSI 25" map. The photographer is on Blessington Street, Berkeley Street is crossing right-left, and we can see the length of Nelson Street.

Trams passing here would have been 9 and 10 to Phoenix Park and 19 and 20 to Glasnevin. According to wikipedia, the first of those electrified was #9, 22 November 1898.

Here are messrs Henry Lenahan and Patrick O'Neill in the 1901 census

While we're in the census, here is John Joseph Clarke, today's photographer, in 1901.

Niall McAuley Niall, I'm only popping in for a moment - will be back later. Would you mind putting that census link under the photo of J.J. himself, if it is he? (I know, I know, what did my last slave die of? :)

I think your translation is out, Charlie Byrne might be closer to the mark! Danny is going to be very disappointed AGAIN!

The Shops are still no 35 and 36 today

Impressive piece of machinery!

ccferrie Excellent! So it looks as if these were Wolseleys, whether or not "touring cars".

National Library of Ireland on The Commons The nearer one certainly is - I'm not sure about the far one. The rear mudguard profile is more like some of the Benz cars I was looking at yesterday, although the body looks the same as the Wolseley.

BTW I thought the fencing might help identify the precise location on Chesterfield Avenue but it looks like it might be temporary fencing put in pace for the race. It looks like they are travelling down hill and into the sun so most probably in the direction of the city.

ccferrie If you care to hazard a streetview, I'll speedily add it to our Flickr map?
